I seem to recall that it was a calendar year thing.  Jan. 1, 1968 
brought a bunch of new safety and emission regulations.  I'm not sure 
that dual circuit brakes were one of them at that time.
I have a '69 XKE that does not have dual circuit brakes.  It does have 
two brake fluid reservoirs, but not an additional set of brake lines, so 
I don't consider it dual circuit.  Foreign cars were not exempt.
